Rear Wheel Conversion

Hola!

I have a Velocity rear wheel with a single speed/fixed flip-flop hub sitting around and no need for it. How difficult would it be to convert to a front wheel so I can get some more use out of it?

I would sell it and buy a new front but this particular rear wheel has sentimental value to me.

Thanks for the insight.

Probably impossible. Rear hub bodies are usually too wide to be set up front use, even if you change the axle.

Re-lace the wheel with a 100mm front hub.
